I have a riddle for you

Some of it is scheme. The rest of it is injury and lack of talent being exposed. Offensive lines get studied by opponents just as any other position. Over the years we've done a lot of patch work strategies to cover up the lack of talent, but those tactics are starting to dry out.

Evans is a real talent, but is not fully healthy. After him, there is not a single starter on that line who is really a legitimate NFL lineman. Armstead fits this scheme with his agility, but (apparently) he isn't ready technique-wise.

You just lost every ounce of credibility you had with that statement. That statement is ridiculous.

C'mon man, you can do better than that crap. I've seen it.

Don't lump me in with that racist POS, thats totally uncalled for, not to mention about as off base as you can get. I may be a lot of things but I'm not a goddam racist.

It was sarcasm. But okay. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Saying we don't have an NFL starter is ridiculous. Grubbs is a multiple-time Pro Bowler, Strief is considered by most of the scouting/grading servcies as a top right tackle and the same for DLP at center. There is nothing wrong with this starting 5.

The real problem is, we pass the ball way too much. You're not going to be effective at run blocking unless you're actually doing it on a regular basis, and not running the ball means the other guys can line up and rush your face off because they know you're passing. Even if it's not effective, we need to run the ball a lot more than 13 times a game. Payton's playcalling this year reminds me of 2007 and 2008 and everybody was getting fed up with him then.
